Origin and development: GenerationsB originated in 2019 through collaboration between the GenBridge Foundation and academic partners.
Technology and data model: GenerationsB features a core engine written in TypeScript with a plugin-based architecture.
Applications and reception: The framework has been applied in academic research on aging, workforce dynamics, and
